Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage may have ended due to a revealing moment in her documentary
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The high-profile divorce of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck has become a major talking point across social media.
On Tuesday, August 20, Lopez filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary, listing their separation date as April 26. This move followed months of speculation about their relationship status.
The unraveling of the couple's two-year marriage is widely believed to have been triggered by a revealing moment in Lopez’s documentary, 'The Greatest Love Story Never Told.'
The film captures Affleck’s shock upon discovering that Lopez had shared his private love letters with her musicians as inspiration. Insiders believe that this revelation may have contributed to the couple’s split.
How did Ben Affleck react after Jennifer Lopez revealed love letters?
During their two-year marriage, Jennifer Lopez’s documentary 'The Greatest Love Story Never Told' reportedly became a point of contention. In the film, Affleck expressed his surprise when he discovered that Lopez had shared his love letters with her musicians as inspiration for her next album.
Affleck had previously preserved these letters during his 13-year marriage to Jennifer Garner, later turning them into a book as a sentimental gift when he and Lopez reunited in 2021.
In the documentary, Affleck reflected on the situation, saying, "My book that I had given her was down there. She's like "I've been reading it to people. This is kind of the inspiration and I've been showing them the book.”
He added, "I was like you've been showing all the musicians all those letters, and they were like, yeah we call you Pen Affleck, and I was like oh my god."
Affleck also commented on his desire for privacy, stating, “I did really find the beauty and the poetry and the irony in the fact that it’s the greatest love story never told. If you’re making a record about it, that seems kind of like telling it. Things that are private I always felt are sacred and special because, in part, they’re private."
Jennifer Lopez, in the documentary, highlighted the significance of the book, saying, "This book is a book Ben gave me on our first Christmas back together. It is every letter and every mail that we wrote each other from 20 years ago and today."
She pointed out a note that read: "The Greatest Love Story Never Told by Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 2001-2010... and counting…"
How did Jennifer Garner react to his retention of love letters?
Following the release of the documentary, sources confirmed that Ben Afleck’ ex Jennifer Garner was not surprised by Affleck's retention of the love letters and is content in her relationship with John Miller.
An insider told Daily Mail, “Ben would love for the outside world not to know about his love letters, but he is a romantic, and as much as he loved Jennifer, he never got over JLo.”
The source added, “Ben keeps his memories, whether it is from movies he worked on or family and relationship moments, he always has what the kids call ‘receipts.’ No one is surprised by this at all. Jennifer is OK with it, JLo obviously loves it and everyone notices that all this was meant to be. Jennifer and Ben have their wonderful children and are both enjoying the relationships they have always wanted to be in.”
